Fucking loved it. Had to play it twice to properly digest all the AWESOME stuff in it. I'm probably more hyped about Pokémon Sage updates than I am about the official games, which I don't know if it's a good thing (as a testament to Sage's superb quality) or a bad thing (as a testament to the official games' lack of quality).

Snome a cutest Sagemon.

One of the best color schemes I've ever seen. I already have a rock type and a ground type in my sage team but I just can't exclude this guy

Also if any devs are reading this, can I get a link to the feedback form or whatever that the game mentions at the end of the demo?

Chillnobyl. Thought I'd post a different evolution gif for a change though

Quite a lot of the designs seemed quite boring from that one collected 'dex image, but in-game every sprite had so much personality to it that I found myself in love with just about every mon other than maybe something like Musburry (but even then quite a lot of people like that one & it's at least one guy's favourite)

>>33372253
Personally I enjoyed the demo enough to consider it worth the wait. 8-10 hours is longer than some AAAs last, & roughly half of an average Pokemon game

Given that during the 2.0 threads a whole bunch of anons said they were reporting the project to Nintendo (individually I'd take it with a pinch of salt but the chances that one of them actually went through with it is probably quite high) & there haven't been any c&ds yet it's probably fine. The devs made sure not to include any conceivable way for the game to be seen as potentially making money (eg that big 'donate' button the original Prism dev had). Besides, who would they send it to?

>best known for Harambe

>>33372955
It has been a while and i dont remember all the heavy changes made, but the worst offender for me was chegrin/cheshade, i enjoyed the original designs a lot, the cheshade actually looks cute (something rare on full evo catmons) sure they were rough, but a clean up and few changes could make them passable, but someone came and did purugly2.0 and people went with it. I hate the ugly face and the toned down colors.

Original paramoth was sad to see it go but understandable, could have ended with something closer though, still the new design is ok.

>>33372979
Can't really tell, but looking at the old designs it seems to be in the right place.

>>33372357
Chlorofin is asscancer given form. A fast water spout where the vast majority of water immunities are weak to grass. Would completely usurp kingdra on rain teams.

Basilect is a weird dragonite/genesect mashup. Makes a damn fine scarf/band since it hits absurdly hard and can chunk resists with its u turn. But like dnite it can set up and conceviably do well with that. It has different coverage to dnite, lacking element punches but it has stone edge and poison jab so yeah very different answers to both of these things. I'd say low OU or BL, roughly wherever dnite is basilect would be. Lack of multiscale made up for by that u turn and nicer strong coverage moves overall.

Diamat is fucking stupid.
>hurr sheer force bulky fucker with every special move ever concieved.
Lack of sheer force STAB might keep it in check but its so versatile coverage wise you can never really be sure. Could also pull a physical set out its ass on you since it'll likely wind up learning dragon dance. Worse than ttar for that, but you'd be expecting special, so it has a place as bait and switch.

Orbatom would be OU for sure. Extremely valuable speed tier and enough special attack to use it. Decent coverage moves to boot and an emergency "kill everything" button never not a good thing. Both abilities have good use as well. Rain+Thunder+Specs+Eccentric makes koko blush. Paired with koko that would be obscene.

Pangolash strikes me as a slightly worse ferrothorn for walling purposes but with far more utility. I'd be willing to run a shittier ferrothorn if it had rapid spin and roar too. Better offensive movepool too, earthquake especially notable since now heatran isn't the perfect switchin.

>>33373030
ah okay. I think Cheshade looks a lot better then purugly still, but yeah the old design is a bit cuter

>>33366330
Why are all the designs so shitty?

I wanted to like this game. But blind retards designed all the characters and fakemon.

At least the spritework and locations are good.

Was there a reason for the decision of no Fairy types?

>>33373318
they didn't exist when the designs were being made

>>33373318
The project was started in late 2012, before gen 6 was even announced. By the time fairy type was a confirmed thing, it was just too much of a bureaucratic hurdle to get everybody on board to add it.

>>33373327
All the bureaucracy is self-inflicted.

>>33373331
I didn't claim otherwise?

>>33373308
What's shitty about them though

I mean at least comparable to other fan games, theres really not much better

>>33373012
One of the worst designs. And that's saying something because 9/10 are fantastic.

>>33373339
I know.

I'm just saying that implementing fairy type could be an easy thing. But the way the decision making is structured it would be a nightmare.

>>33373395
Right, that's why it was a bureaucratic hurdle, not a technical hurdle or a workload hurdle

>>33373346
There's a lot of dex filler. Not much that's memorable in a good way. Lots of it-just-gets-bigger evolutions and many uninspired feline/canine low-effort Mons. And, subjectively, there's just a lot of ugliness in the designs.

Human characters either lack focus or are try too hard to get their theme across. The worst example is Amber. Not only is she overly muscular, she has manface, thick eyebrows, and a Skrillex side cut. Somehow she used to be worse with facial scars. How many indicia that she's a fighter woman did we need? Certainly not that many. Other characters just have shit in-your-face themes. Like the ice gym leader is Santa Claus.

Hard choice between this, Diamat, and Ragnarow, but i prefer this one

probably will do a mono dragon run in this game when it comes out

>>33373446
I can see the too many canine/feline mon argument, there is definitely a lot. Personally, it doesn't bother me because I felt their designs were distinct enough. I liked a lot of the dex filler desu. at least compared to games like uranium, where the dex filler is so poorly designed it hurts, lol.

I can see that with Foster and Stella, but imo its not enough to ruin their designs for me. Plus gym leaders are pretty minor characters anyways

I'm a bit torn about how every Gym Leader has a deliberate "fuck anyone who tries to use type advantage" Pokemon. I'm thinking of Snome's Hidden Power, Crawglock, and that cunt of a Glocto.

On one hand, it adds a bit of challenge, sure. But on the other I felt forced to catch new Pokemon (like Slatic) and train them up while I didn't really care for them, just to get past that single Pokemon.

Reminder for you fags to take the feedback and bug report surveys linked on the demo page on the wiki, and that they can be taken multiple times

He is a pretty cool dude, thanks for coming up with a great idea, hopefully we do your idea justice

Here is some random dialog I wrote up awhile back, don't know if any of it will be used as I don't really participate in the dialog discussions.

"Bridges are meant to be crossed. Rules are meant to be followed. They call me.. Pokeman!"

"A hero will never surrender to evil, I am as constant as the stars in the sky. I only fight for justice... always."

"Does water have to think about being water?
Does wind have to think about being wind?
No!
It all comes perfectly natural to them. I am the same way."

“You, I, and all the rest have no reason to do this. We’re all the same. The only difference is what we’re crazy about, how we’re crazy, and degree to which we’re crazy. That’s all.”

“The difference between stupidity and justice is paper-thin!”

“False justice is worse than evil!”

“It’s do or die time.”
could also be
“It’s do or faint time.”

Well it was originally based on a flightless climbing bat. So more so it can climb up like cave walls on on the ceiling possibly and then glide down. Its main gimmick is that unless in moonlight, it appears as a statue.

Seeing as how we have a bird made out of rock pokemon that can fly I don't think this is the case.
